Empower Your Employees to Do More
Employee Self-Service makes it simple to do the basics like request time off and clock in. But it also facilitates compelling experiences for employees that drive self-service, ultimately taking some of the burden off HR.
Pay information is a mere click away via ESS. And, On Demand Payment offers financial flexibility with same day pay, calculated by Paylocity, with zero changes to your payroll process and no cost to you, the employer.
Recognition builds connections between peers and actively builds culture. Our peer recognition tool makes it easy for employees to publicly recognize each other and for leaders to interact with that acknowledgment.
Paylocity gives your employees easy access to enroll in benefits, view their plan information and spending account balances, and even a straightforward way to send claims.
“We push everyone to the mobile app for just about everything, including time tracking. Most of our technicians have access to a desktop or a laptop at their station; it's easier to pull out your phone and clock yourself in.”
“Having a system that does all these things in one spot—captures employee information, makes it easy for employees to use, and enables administrators to customize—those are the three pieces that make Paylocity work.”
